Pega RESTFul Api for remote execution of scenario tests
Scenario tests can be run remotely on Selenium hubs either deployed standalone or on cloud services such as Cross-browser Testing and Browser Stack
This is a short document highlighting the parameters of the exposed rest API for invoking automated scenario tests remotely:
Example service endpoint URL:
Post parameters:
JobID - Unique Job ID/Run ID/Build number for the invocation (Used by the Deployment manager to separate runs across deployments, also passed as the run id to cloud providers for tracking)
Provider - STANDALONE | CBT | BROWSERSTACK Test service provider to use (or Test service cloud provider)
ProviderAuthName - Auth name for the test service account
ProviderAuthKey - Auth key for the test service account
ProviderURL - Alternate test service provider URL (Optional - Generally used for local selenium hubs)
Browser - Browser to run the UI tests on
BrowserVersion - Browser version to run the UI tests on
Platform - OS platform to use
PlatformVersion - OS Platform version to use
ScreenResolution - Resolution of the test system screen to run the tests on
SUTURL - URL of the Pega system under test
SUTUserID - Test operator ID from the Pega system under test
SUTPassword - Password of the test operator ID from the Pega system under test
Note: If using cloud providers, please check their documentation on browsers, versions and platforms they support. This is in addition to the authname and the authkey that is provider specific. If running selenium hubs standalone or as part of a grid, please make sure to configure the grid capabilities to match the parameters being passed to the API.

@dhulk1 I'm having trouble calling the Pega scenario tests directly from the API when using Selenium. Please refer to the question I posted for details: Issue Executing Pega Scenario Tests with Selenium Directly from the API | Collaboration Center Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you follow the following article for passing input parameters for the Scenario tests REST API ?

@dhulk1 Correct. I followed it exactly, yet it times out trying to connect to a provider URL "hub.crossbrowsertesting.com". Does the API default to this provider URL? As noted in my post https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/selenium-grid-integration-scenario-testing-framework#comment-764136 , I have the provider set to "STANDALONE" and provider URL set to our local Selenium Hub instance. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi Team,
We have created few Scenario tests in our Pega 8.4 instance using Scenario UI tests we have in Pega and we would like to execute them via REST API, can you please help us in terms of how the above mentioned service can be used.
Thanks,
Naresh.

For running scenario test cases through the above mentioned REST API, a third party tool is required. (CrossBrowserTesting, BrowserStack, SauceLabs or Selenium standalone/ Selenium Grid).
To know how to pass parameters for the REST API, when any one of the above mentioned third party tool access is available, please refer to appropriate article, which is mentioned in the first reply to this article. For ease of access, providing the same article links below.
